How to Make a Rainbow Ribbon Magic Fairy Wand for Kids

The rainbow star cookies we made were so good, I suggested that we also make a rainbow ribbon magic fairy wands.

We used our star cookie cutter, ribbons in a rainbow of colors, and glimmer felt to make a magic star wand. It turned out so well we decided to make a more fairy wands as favors for my daughters birthday party.

Our rainbow ribbon star wands were a huge hit with my daughter and her friends!

Homemade Rainbow Star Wand Materials

White glimmer felt or stiff felt
Star cookie cutter
Fabric marker (disappearing ink) or fabric marking chalk
Rainbow ribbon
Wooden dowels (1/4 X 12 inches)
Gold tinsel cord
Low-temp glue gun

Magic Fairy Princess Wand Step by Step Directions

Step 1 – Cut 2 felt stars for each magic fairy wand

Draw a star or use a disappearing ink fabric marker or fabric chalk to trace a star-shaped cookie cutter and a fabric marker with disappearing ink to trace stars onto the back of the glimmer felt. You will need two stars for each magic wand. Don’t worry, the ink will disappear in about 12-24 hours. You can also use water to remove it. Yes, it even works on white felt!

Step 2 – Cut ribbon for each star wand

Cut six 12 – 14-inch sections of ribbon in a rainbow of colors for each fairy wand. We used red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple found in THIS pack.

Step 3 – Glue ribbon strips to each felt star

Use a low-temperature glue gun to attach the ribbon to the inside bottom of one side of each of the felt stars. If you are using glimmer felt, make sure the glimmer side of the felt is facing out.

Step 4 – Attach felt star to a wooden dowel for each fairy wand

Place a wooden dowel on one-half of each rainbow ribbon star and glue it in place.

Step 5 – Glue second star half to the wooden dowel to complete each magic fairy wand

Glue the felt star halves together with the wooden dowel and ribbons inside to create each rainbow ribbon magic fairy wand. Once again, make sure the glimmer side of the felt is facing out before gluing the star halves together.

Step 6 – Attach the gold tinsel cord to the outside edge of each rainbow ribbon star wand

Use a low-temperature glue gun with glue sticks, to attach the non-stretch gold tinsel cord to the outside edge of the star on each magic fairy wand.

You will be touching the glue and getting it all over your fingers so it is VERY important that you use a low-temperature glue gun or a glue gun that has a low-temperature setting. High-temperature glue guns can cause a serious burn if you touch the glue.

Start on the back side of the star and work it around to the front.

Next, glue a small section of cord to the part of the star wand without gold tinsel cord on the back.
